Application filed December l1, 1906l Serial No. 347,304.

To all whom "it Im (1.3/ concern Be it known that l, VILLIAM F. LAZARO,citizen of the United States of America, rcsiding at rIurtle Creek, inthe county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certainnew and useful lmpriwcmcnts in Clotiles-Fasteners for Cribs, of whichthe. following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawing.

'lhis invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inClothes holders for beds and cribs, and the invention has for its object the provision of novel means for rmly retaining the sheets, spreadsand similar cloths upon a bed or crib, whereby an infant or personsleeping in the bed, and of a restless disposition, will not becomeuncovered during their slumber.

Another object of this invention is to provide a bed clothes holderapplicable to various types of beds and cribs, the holder beingconstructed whereby it may be easily and quickly adjusted and secured tothe frame work of a bed or crib. l

Vith these and other objects in view,

`which will more readily appear as the invention is better understood,the-same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangementof `parts to be hereinafter more fully described and then specificallypointed out inthe appended claims.

AIn the drawing forming' part of this Specification, like numerals ofreference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, inwhich Figure 1 is an. elevation of my improved holder, Fig. 2 is a plan,showing the pins-in a horizontal position, Fig. 3 is a`perspective viewof the holder, as applied to a crib, and Fig. 4 is a plan of one end ofthe holder constructed to clamp a bed or crib constructed.I ol wood.

ln the accompanying drawing, I have illustrated a con venti onal form ofcrib constructed i -or similar cloth spread thereupmi, and in order thatmy invention may be fully understood, I have illustrated two ol myimproved holders as attached to the sheet 5 and to the posts 2 and rods3.

The holder is preferably constructed of wire or similar light anddurable material and comprises two members 6 and 7. The ont` end of themember 6 is provided with a with a loop 9 through which the member 6slides. The opposite ends of the members 6 and 7 are bent to form hooks1() and are then secured, as at 11. v Adjacent to the secured ends ofthe members are formed loops 12 and carried by said eyelets arefastening devices 14, the devices illustrated being ordinary kinds offastening devices can be attached to the members whereby the sheet 5 orsimilar cloths can be attached thereto. Upon one of the members 6 or 7,I mount another ed thereupon whereby it can be positioned centrall ofthe fastening devices 14, or at nya desired point, when the members 6and 7 are adjusted.

By referring to Fig. 3 of the drawing, the manner of securing the holderto the rods 3 is clearly shown, also the manner in which a sheet orsimilarbed clothisheld by the holder.

wooden beds or cribs, I provide the hook ends l() of the. h'older withscrews 16, said screws being detachable whereby the hook end of theholder can be placed in engagement with a vertically disposed slat orrail, and then the screw replaced to firmly retain the holder inposition. j

Such changes in the size, proportion and minor details` of constructionentering into my improved holder as are permissible by the appendedclaims, may be resorted to without departing ,from the spirit and scopeof the invention.

What I claim and desire to secure by Let- 'ters Patent, is:`- f

A clothes holder-comprising apair of rods each formed at one terminuswith an eye, the eye upon one oll thc rods extending in an oppositedirection withrespect to the eye upon the other of the rods, each of therods loop 8 through which the member 7 is ada t-4 ed to slide., whilesaid member 7 1s provi 'ed safety pins, but it is obvious that variousWhere the holder is used in connection withl extending through the eyeof the other rod fastening device 15 which is slidably niount-4andprovided at a, point in proximity to its hook, combined withfastening devices carl other, terminus with.v a loop extending at riedby one of said rods and seid loops. 10
